What I'm Watching...and Who's Watching Me
- I'm watching the progress of the "America Invents Act" (H.R. 1249) on GovTracks, House Judicary Committee, and Library of Congress (THOMAS) websites, all great resources. The status of the House bill is listed as "referred to Committee".
- I'm watching the new Maryland Lawyers for the Arts website ("new" in title only--they call it "Beta"--but it's been around for a few months).
- I'm tracking IP-related lawsuits filed in the Maryland Federal District Court using Justia.com and other sources. 21 lawsuits were filed in the first quarter of 2011 (9 copyright, 8 trademark, and 4 patent).
- Recent visitors to this website are frequently looking at my 2007 discussion on illegal music downloading, entitled "Downloading Music Benefits Both Consumers and Artists, Study Finds." One of the most visited pages on this website is the Maryland IP Jobs list.
